2018 Must Do XMAS Events

Here we are only weeks out from Christmas wondering where the year went! Another fast paced 12 months has flown by and whether we’re ready or not, it’s almost time to start enjoying a plethora of 2018 Christmas events, winding down the year and looking forward to the next.

The silly season is one of our favourite times of year. Our promotional staff are dusting off the elf suits and gearing up to help create some festive cheer and Christmas magic all around the nation. Once again we have comprised our must-do list of amazing festive 2018 Christmas Events in our capitals.

Rosehill Gardens Racecourse will be transformed into a Christmas wonderland from the 7th – 27th December. This epic three week extravaganza boasts a vintage double-decker carousel, Santa’s glittering enchanted forest, live entertainment, a toboggan slide, cookie decorating (eating) workshops, and too many other fun things to list. Cool off in one of Australia’s largest portable ice skating rinks imported all the way from Italy!

The organisers, volunteers and staff really make this event so special. Surround your family with the magic of Christmas. Get your tickets quick before they sell out!!

Christmas shopping is not a chore when you get to do it here! Over three festive weekends from 17th November – 9th December Queen Victoria Market is the place to be. Browse the fine wares of some of Melbourne’s most talented independent designers and creatives! More of an adventure than a market, it’s a great day out with gourmet food, live music and a prosecco bar!

Brisvegas will be buzzing over the first three weekends of December. The world food markets bring the city’s first festival dedicated to all things Christmassy to Brisbane Powerhouse, New Farm. Friends, family and fur-babies will gather to celebrate the season at a community twilight picnic and market. The concept is focused on supporting local small business. Attendance is free and festival goers can expect live music, food and market stalls with handmade goods and gifts for the whole family. Of course a Merry ol’ Bar on the performance lawns will be serving up festive cocktails, summer spritzers, craft beers and local wines.

Adelaide kids are getting set for the most fun three hours of their lives at the city’s best value family event – Santa’s Wonderland. Unlimited rides, ice skating, tobogganing, jumping castles, activity trail, showbags and live Christmas stage shows!

Roaming Christmas characters set the mood as families make magic memories for life. So much to see and do. Join in the fun from the 7th – 24th December.

Save the 16th November if you’re in WA. Christmas shopping has never been so much fun! The Perth Makers Market is the city’s premier handmade artisan market offering over 150 stalls of quality handmade gifts and crafts, as well as scrumptious food and loads of activities.
